Roland Winston was an American scientist who was a leading figure in the field of nonimaging optics and its applications to solar energy, and is sometimes termed the "father of non-imaging optics". He was the inventor of the compound parabolic concentrator (CPC), a breakthrough technology in solar energy. He was also a former Guggenheim Fellow, past head of the University of Chicago Department of Physics, a member of the founding faculty of University of California Merced. He was nominated as head of the California Advanced Solar Technologies Institute in 2013.
